You know, those types of kids that FIRST probably needs to reach the most - the misguided ones who maybe haven't always had the best influences in their lives. FIRST apparently doesn't want any of that type of riff-raff at their events.

Oh, and you probably better not invite any parents or other adults either. You never know what some unmonitored adult could say that might be tied back to your team. Best just to not have them there, right?

Good grief.
So you are saying that a team whose members scream swears at the FTAs are Gracious and professional (the criterion for a GP award)?

As you said ... Good grief.
